‘Too early to get a Saiz tattoo?’ – Leeds fans react to stunning hat-trick in debut v Port Vale

Leeds beat Port Vale 4-1 in the Carabao Cup v Port Vale on Wednesday evening and one player provided all the headlines for the Whites.

Four players were making their competitive debuts for Leeds tonight – Caleb Ekuban, Samu Saiz, Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and Mateusz Klich – and it was Saiz who turned on the style, scoring a quite brilliant hat-trick.

His first came from a misdirected cross from Stuart Dallas, which hit the post and dropped to Saiz who hammered it home off the post.

The second was better – Saiz rounded the keeper and slotted home – and the third was the best of the bunch, an emphatic finish from just inside the penalty area.

Leeds fans were understandably excited by Saiz’ performance and took to Twitter to hail their new hero after the match.
